A group of about 150 protestors rallied at Civic Center Park Nov. 3 to speak out against the recent elections and march through downtown in protest, ending up in a confrontation with Denver police and a local teleyision station. The event was loosely put together by emails and flyers, which read "Democracy in the Streetg" and urged participants to bring pos and pans to create noise and show their opposition to the recent election. Sgt. Michael Pace of the Downtown Motorcycle Unit said the police were informed that day about the protest by flyers that had been posted downtown. According to Creative Resistance memberq the rally wasn't organized by any one group, partly for legal reasons, and pardy because people were tiere to express their anger over many different issues. People began to show up around 6 p.m., walking from all directions, many banging skil-

lets and carrfng signs. Cody, 2r, a computer securities student at Front Range community college,carried a sign that read,"RIGGED: DON'T BUY THE LIE." 'l don't believe the way this election was carried is legit," said Cody, 21, referenced George Orwellt novel 1984 when declining to give his last name. "With an administration who has proven to have no scruples when it comes to lying, why should we trust these electronic machines that leave no record?" At around 6:20 p.m. Metro student Tom Mestnik, using a portable public address system, urged the crowd to take action for what they feel is right, even though this election might have discouraged them, Mestnik said the rally was not just against George W Bush, but against the processby which our elections are decided and the dominance of the two major political parties. "There comes a time when the actions of the machine become so odious that 1ou donl want to participate," Mestnik said. Mestnik presidedover the handful of speakers, who ranged from small business owners to

students to professors. 'We need a great movement that can challenge this system and overthrow itj' said Alan Gilbert, a political science professor at the University of Denver. Gilbert, like many other protestors, is opposed to electronic computer voting which is run by private businesses and leavesno auditable records behind, Marilyn Megenity, owner of the Mercury Caf6, sang a song in protest from the point of view of the Bush administration praising electronic voting. Megenity said in her song that Diebold, manufacturer of more than 75,000 electronic voting machines, helped the Bush administration to win the election. Igor Rakin, a junior-high history teacher at a juvenile prison, said that until we approach the teaching of American history with more honesry the problems we are seeing now will continue. "If we don t teach them what was, they will never know what is," Rakin said.

"It's unfortunate that we didnt make it in ... but on the bright side,we ended up winning (the) RMAC and we ended on a good nnte," said Roadrunner forward Nagui Sabbagh 4bout the team not making the Regional Tourrritrent. Although Metrot national toqrnament dreamswere crushed for the secondconsecutive season,they did take horne the Rocky Mountain Championship trophy for rhe second straight seasonafter defeatingColorado Schoolof Mines on penalty kicks Nov. 5 and the CSU-Pueblo Thunderwolves Z-Uon Sunday,Nov. 7. "We all really wanted to win and we were really focused on what we were doing. We had (the) determination and we knew we had to win; there was no tomorrow. We still had some hope to go to Regionals, so we just put everything on the line and just . .. played,we just played,"said Metro midfielder Aldo Alcaraz Reza about the team going into the playoffs. Metro started the tournament on Friday as the Roadrunners went into the match looking to avenge an earlier seasonloss to the Orediggers. The Roadrunners had to survive an earh 'Diggers string of Mines' attack as all four of the fi$t-half shots were on net. Goalkeeper David McReavy stopped them all to give his team the opportunity to put home the opening strike and in the 376 minute, sophomore forward and tournament MVP Phillip Owen netted the first and only goal of the half off a junior midfielder Aldo Alcaraz- Rezapass.

ChicanoStudieselementary teacherlicensurenow offered by KathrynGraham TheN4etropolitan Metrot Chicano Studies Department is the only one of its kind in the state of Colorado. The program is designed to help students earn an elementary education teacher'slicense.The successwas gained by using the state'sown law as a reasonfor getting the Colorado D?artment of Education to grant the licensure. After receiving secondary social studies teachers'licensure for grades9-12 back in 2001, the Chicano Studies department submitted another proposal to the CDE for an elementary education licensure.CDE was reluctant to grant the licensure. However, the Chicano Studies department was persistent and kept revising the proposal in hopes of gaining approval from the CDE, said Luis Torres,professorand former chair of Metrot Chicano Studiesdepartment. The victory came when Metro's Chicano Studiesdepartment realizedthat statelawactually supported the licensure.\!hen it was brought to the attention of the CDE, Metro's Chicano Studiesdepartment was given approval. "Theret actually a law that this type of instruction be provided in all parts of the state," Torres said. Colorado Statute 22-1-i04 mandates that ethnic curriculums be taught in grades K-12. It states: "The history and civil government of the United States,which includes the history culture, and contributions of minorities including, but not limited to, the American Indians, the Hispanic Americans, and the African

Americans, shall be taught in all the public schoolsof the state." Although the statutewas passedin 1998,no collegelicensure for education has been implemented to ensurethe philosophy implied in that law be upheld.
However, if Metro is the only collegedoing this, then the law has yet to be supported in other parts of the state. "They donl uphold the law and itt very frustrating. That is why this is a big step; this licensure will help to uphold that law," Torres said. "We're pleased to be the first to get this licensure, but want other universities 10 get it, too. This Chicano Studies curriculum is for all students,"he said. "We heard about it and it's wonderful news. Wdre excited about trying to follow ivfetro's example," said Arturo Aldama, a professor of ethnic studies fiom the University of Colorado in Boulder. Denver has a 38 percent Latino population, but it could be higher. The censusdoesn't do a good job of accuratelyreporting those statistics, he said. Due to the way their department is organized, CU-Boulder, if approved for the licensure,will have a different outcomâ&#x201A;Ź than Metro. CU-Boulder hasone Ethnic Studiesdepartment, which encompassesall of its ethnic majors. In other words, the licensure will include its Afiican American Studiesdepartment as well as the Chicano Studies department, and all of the other departments included in CU-Boulderk Ethnic Studiesdepartment.

"No statement in the lecture can fairly be said to suggest that no Republicans or conservativesare capable of thinking critically, or that liberals are superior in this respect to conservatives,"Kieft wrote. When asked why he filed the complaint and didn't just drop the class, Pierce said he believes everyone should be held accountable and professorshave too much power.

passpnce by Glayton\tVoullard The Metropolitan Studentsat Auraria could experiencea price increase on their studenl bus pass fee in two yearswhen a price cap is set to expire. This year students at Metro, UCD and CCD pay about $22 for the bus pass, a 45 percent discount, which offers students free accessto local, regional and expressservices,as well as a $4 discount on Skyfude. RTD offers a monthly passfor $135 to its regular customers. The campus' current contract with RTD is set to expire next August, but RTD has said they would extend the contract until the end of the 2005-2006 academic year, when students vvill be able to ratiry in the spring. The contract also stipulates that RTD will not charge the school more than 7.5 percent of the previous year's charge, or no more than $24 per semesterfor students. This school year, RTD charges Auraria $1,700,055,which the Auraria Higher Education Center then divides by the amount of students to calculate the student fee. Under the 7.5 percent cap, RTD could o y charge a maximum of $1,827,559.But, come August of 2006 that could change. In 2002, RTDt Board of Directorc negotiated the 7.5 percent cap with the University of Colorado at Boulder, which did not want its bus passprogram to exceed10 percent because it would force the university to put it to a student vote. So the RTD board set the 7.5 percent cap for the other five schools, which include the three schools at Auraria, the University of Denver and Naropa University in Boulder. The cap will expire at the end of the 2005-2006 school year, at which time the RTD board will havethe option of lifting the cap completely,setting a different cap, or keeping the existing one. Jeff Stamper,Tivoli Student Union assistant director, said if the cap is lifted, the student bus pass fee could be increasedto $27, which, he said,is basedon what RTD has said is the actual cost of the program. According to documents provided by RTD, the actual cost of the program, based on how often Auraria students ride the bus or light rail, is $2,293,254-$593,199 more than what RTD is currendy charging Auraria. If the RTD board decides to lift the cap to match that price students on campus could seea significant increase in the price of the bus pass. The Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board wanted to negotiate a two-year contract with RTD rather than the one-year extension for the 2005-2006school year. Georgann Fisher, Advertising Sales and Student Pass Administrator for RTD, who's also a UCD graduate student, said this would be impossible becauseone year would be under the 7.5 percent cap and the next year may or may not be in place. "We dont want to cause panic and have everybody think the cap is going away,' Fisher said. She also said RTD will not know the ridership figures for the 2006-2007school year until later. Stamper said it's important for SACAB to look into these contract negotiations this early to make sure the bus passis kept affordable, but he doesn't expect any huge increase in the price of the program for the 2006-2007school year, "My sense is that they would allow for the same stipulations to work that they would charge on ridership with the same discount in

At least 20.9 million Americansunder the age of 30 voted in this yeart election,a nationaljump of nearly l0 percentfiom 2000. The youth vote increasedeven more in the 10 most competitive"batdeground statesi where turnout jumped 13 percentagepoints from 2000 to peak at 64 percent, This trend mirrored the higher general tumout in these covetedelectoralbattlegrounds. "I think whatt interesting at this point is the actual censusdataj' said David Schwartz, Auraria CampusOrganizerfor the New Voters Proiect, 51,6percentof eligibleyoung votersturned out this yeat a number that fell below some expectations. "The yoter turnout amongcollegestudents oru agewas low," said Danielle Robinson,vice chair of the Colorado CollegeRepublicans."It washigherthan in pastelections,but not exactly the turnout that wasexpected." Despitethe record number of young voters in this year'selection, the high turnout of all voters and the ultimate defeat of fohn Kerry underminedthe impact of their contribution. The results of the election challengeda widespreadassumptionthat youngvoterswould follow a predetemrinedpattern. "I think people associatedthe young voter tumout with a large Kerry turnout, which is a misconception,"Schwartzsaid- "The young peoplearesplit, too," The increasedpolitical activism among young voters made them a comrnodity for pollsters and partisans alike, especiallyin the decisiveelectoralstates.

College will ask some students about race as it looks at minority status Some Metro students can expect a letter in their mailbox soon asking why they did not choosea specific race when applying for enrollrnent at Metro. |essica Greiner, Student Government Assembly vice president for academic affairs,said in the Nov. 4 SGA meeting that the collegehas 23 percent minority enrollment and is only a few percentagepoints away ftom becoming a "minority school" as determined by federal standards. According to Greiner, 6 percent of the 23 percent of minority students chose 'other" or being more than one race when they applied to Metro. If those students choose one particular race, it could help the college reach the "minority school" status. Metro Director of Admissions Bill Hathaway-Clark said when students check off more than one race, college officials usually choose the race code that's underrepresented on campus, but over the past few years those who entered such data have placed those students under the'other" classification. Hathaway- Clark said federal standards do not allow for students to choose more than one race,but within the next few years that could change.
Nursing Department appoints new chair Sarahilahana /The tMerooolihn CCD stud€nt tarc MiFta does some homework outside while snoking a cigarette. Metro professor Larry lapez has proposed a campus-wide snokbg ban, because,according to him, smokers hare been ignoring the signs that ask theur to stay 20 feet away fron buildings while smokiag.
by ClaybnWoullad TheMetrooolitan Signswarning smokersto stay20 feet away fiom building entranceson campus arc continually ignored and Larry Lopezis fed up. Lopez, a Metro management professor, Auraria Higher EducationCenter board member and smoker,said he's heard many people complain about having to hold their breath when they walk into campusbuildings because of smokersstandingright by the entrances. Tko months ago during an AHEC board meeting,Lopezproposeda campus-widesmoking ban to batdethis all-too-commonproblem. "It's a nuisance,It's a health problem," he said. "I get home and my dothes smell like cigarettesmokeif I haveto walk in and out of it constandy." Lopez said he proposed the ban because smokerson campusirre not obeyingsigns that say, "No Smoking Wthin 20 fr of Building Entrance." When the AHEC board discussedit, he said there was some agreementand disagreement and questioningof whether a completeban on smokingwould work. Lopez pointed out how most high schools acrossthe country havecampus-widesmoking bans in place and said while one may not be successfirlon a campus of more than 30,000 students,he said,frankly,it might be necessary. 'That maynot realistic be but itt something the smokersare forcing us to look atl he said. "Itt sadthat the inconsiderationof the smokers is causingthis problem." The proposal has been sent to both the Faculty and Student Advisory Committeesto the Auraria Board for their recommendation. SACABPresidentand CCD stud€nt,Patrick Jinersaid he personallyfeelssmokingon campusis no big problemaslong asit's doneoutside
'I think they should be able to smoke outsideif it's outside,"Jiner said."We iust have to keep considerationfor studentsgoing into buildings who dont want to breathein all that smoke." At presstime, Jiner said SACABwould get student input during a town hall meeting-type forum Nov. 10before the board made any recommendations. UCD studentand smokerEJMilelli saidhe usuallysmokesin betweenclasses, and he only g€tsabout5-10minutesto smoke, "I think itt a bad idea,"Milelli said of the proposedban. 'I think it makesit a lot harder for studentsto smoke if they have to go off campusJ He saidmost of the'No Smoking"signsare located to close to building entrancesor iust aren'tvisible enoughand that ashtraysareright by the door. He said where the signsare most visible,peopledont smokenearthe buildings. Lopezsaidhe'sbeentold it's a campus-wide problern,thar it doesnt seemto matter how visible the signsare. 'For some,it's very offensiveand for others it's a health issue,"he said."At a minirnum, I d like to seeusmovethe smokingareascompletely awayfrom the entrancesto the buildings:' Milelli saidhe thinks the 2O-footrestriction is a good rule to havein place,but it would be helpfrrl if the signswereput at the 2O-footlimit and said somethinglike, 'No Smoking Beyond This Point." Often, peoplemay not smokemost of their cigaretteright by a building entrance,but may just be finishing off a cigaretteastheywalk in.

in theStreets Democracy
Kristin Sl$orc / The Metropolihn group A of roughly 150 people gathâ&#x201A;Źred Nov.3 to protest the election process. The protest, loosely put together via e-mails and flyers, was titled "Democracy in the Streets" and lasted about two and a half hours and ended in conlrontation with the police and the media. Pleasesee cover story for more information.
Colorado health officials find dead animals infected with the plague (U-WIRE) FORT COLLINS - Local health officials have found evidence that the plague and tularemia have been found in dead animals and pets and are alerting the public to use preventative measuresto ayoid the diseases. Two pet cats have been diagnosedwith the plague in the past two week, and a woman died from the plague while visiting the Red Feather Lakes area in August. The Centers for Disease Control and Preyention have been working with the Larimer County Department of Health and Environment in monitoring the plague and other infectious diseases. So far this year, four feline plague caseshave been reported. In 1999,a woman died from the piague in the same area that this year's human caseoccurred. Cats and other animals can be infected with the plague when they kill and eat infected rodents riddled with infected fleas. From that point, pets can transmit the diseaseto humans through bites, scratchesor droplets from their coughs. The bacteria can also be transmitted via the infected fleas themselves,which pets can also bring into domesticatedareas. Bubonic plague, the more common forrn of the plague, occurs when extreme pain and swelling of the lymph nodes strikes a victim. The groin and armpit region are the most common flea bite locations in humans, according to a pressreleasefrom the health and environment department. The bubonic plague is not transmitted person-to-person,but it can spreadto the lungs to form pneumonic plague, and the victim's close contactscan be infected. Another recentbacteria,tularemia, hasbeen traced to Larimer County in a dead beaverand mouse. A man fiom Loveland was struck with pneumonia causedby tularemia in August. Tularemia is another rare occurrencefound in Larirner County and infects humans rvho handle infected animals such as rodents or rabbits or humans rvho are bit by infected insects, especiallyticks and deer flies. Tularemia is a bacterial disease that can affect humans or animals from insectsthat have the disease. Health officials say to take precautions to prevent infections from these diseases.Using insect repellâ&#x201A;Źnts,avoiding sick or dead rodents, keeping pets leashed while camping or hiking, and paying close attention to a pett health are all preventative measures.

Protest:March RTD:StudentChicanoStudies:otherstate to followMetro'slead colleges endstn conflict feemaygo continued fromcoler
"The biggest myth is that we live in a democracy, when it is actually ruled by feari said Nathan Jefties, 18, who was at the event to protest the current administration and the electoralprocess. After the speeches,the crowd marched out of the park to Lincoln Avenue in front of the capitol chanting'One, we are the people. Trc, a little bit louder. Three, we want justice for the whole world..." The protestors then marched, with a police escort, through the streets of downtown Denver, where they tumed and marched back toward the capitol, down the 166 Street Mall, picking up protâ&#x201A;Źstors along the way. Some protestors knocked over fencing from street side caf6s and trash cans, only to have them picked back up and set into place by those following behind them. "That's not what this is about," yelled a girl after a fence outside a seafood restaurant was pushed over by protestors in front of her. The police left the crowd as the march came back to the capitol, where the protestors gathered on the steps chanting, "Not our president, not our war." Metro pmfessor Rhonda Ntepp joined the marching crowd. Ntepp told the crowd that if they wanted to be heard they must get the media involved by getting the police involved. "I'm not saying do anything illegal, but we won t be heard unless we can get the police to participate," Ntepp said to the crowd ftom the top of the steps. The protestors then marched in the street unaccompanied from the capitol down Lincoln Avenue, blocking the northbound, one-way traffic in all lanes. Police motorcycles and cruisers began to drive through to the front of the crowd blaring sirens and ordering them to move to the side of the street. The crowd continued to march in the street unrit hitting a roadblock at llt Street of four police cruisers and about 10 officers who had gathered to keep the crowd from further disrupting traffic. As the crowd stood in the street chanti''g, the officers began to pass out chemical spray and riot handcuffs to each other. The standoff lasted less than five minutes before Ntepp iuranged for the police to escort the crowd, in the street, the remaining two blocls to the Channel 4 building, where she said they wanted to speak to the media about their message. The crowd reached the TV station, and began to file into the empty lobby, again chanting. A security guard came and spoke with Ntepp, who was waiting in the lobby, and asked her and the remaining protestors to leave, saying that no one would be coming to talk to them. As the crowd left the lobby and overhang of the Channel 4 building, other local media stations that had shown up to cover the story met them. 'We are here to express our dissent, and to say the young vote is not stupid," Ntepp said to a Channel 7 cameraman. "Our problem with tle media is that we get one side of t}re story." Erika Veil, 37, an election observer in Colorado Springs, said she witnessed voters being tumed away from the polls for illegal reasons, "I watched them turn away Hispanics because they couldnl fill out the green card," Veil said, referring to the green card handed to voters asking them to fiIl out their information and give their signature. "They said if you can't understand it to 6ll it out, then you can't vote. That's illegal."
Theprotestendedaround8:30p.m.after the poiice asked the crowd to stay on the sidewalk so they could re-open the blocked lanes of traffic.
up because of FasTracks page3 continuedfrom place," Stamper said, 'just that there wouldn't be a cap in place." Patrick Jiner, SACAB President, said he think if the student bus pass fee is kept under $40, students would be willing to pay it. He said ids important that students remember they're getting a really good deal. 'We re definitely saving more than it'd be to buy it ftom King Soopers," Jiner said. "RTD! doing us a really big favor, but we're doing them a favor, too, because we're guaranteeing them income." Fisher echoed Iiner and said students shouldn't expect a great increase in their student fee. But, with increased ridership due to increased enrollment at all three schools on campus, and possibly from RTD expansion with FasTracks,the price will go up. By how much is the question that just can't be answered. "We don't anticipate a huge change," she said.'We just don t have enough details to know how it's going to change." FasTrack is RTD's $4.7 billion, l2-year plan to increase light rail and bus services throughout the Denver Metro area. The plan was approved by voters last week. It will increase transit sales tax throughout the Denver Metro areaby $4 per $10 purchase. RTD SalesManager Andy Todaro suggested AHEC could soften the blow of any increase by increasing the student fee by perhaps an extra dollar than what Auraria needs to meet the RTD cost. This would give AHEC extra money to offset the nâ&#x201A;Źrc year's cost. The Auraria campus has offered a student bus pass through RTD since 1995 and has put the bus pass fee up for student vote eyery two years, which is one reason SACAB wanted a two-year contract rather than a one-year extension. Historically, Auraria students have voted for the student bus passfee by a large margin.

abstraction from Iraq it seemed plausible that the end of the war was near. Now, it seemsas if the Bush administration has more to proye. The deficit has risen from a projected surplus at the end of Clinton's term-not mildly but at a record high of $3.2 trillion. Justification of this is becauseof an economic downfall and the warBush's plan is to cut the deficit by $l trillion over five years, leaving $2.2 trillion. This hardly seemspossiblewhen the curent administration has failed to veto spending initiatives and raises federal discretionary spendingby approximately 13 percent. A Pro-Life amendment to the constitution could be the next Bush initiative. The president has already succeededin banning partial-birth abortion and has publicized his intent to discouragethe procedure.He plans to discourage abortion by advocating abstinence,marriage and adoption. These options narrow the debate from a social issue to a form of birth control. No exceptions were made in the partialbirth abortion ban; the procedure was often utilized for protection of the woman's health or other extreme circumstances. The 2004 presidential election brings new issuesto the voting process.Waiting in line for a couple hours to vote is a small price to pay when democrary works. However, when voters are turned away from the polls because they are at the wrong location they feel discouragedand mav not vote at all. Hopefully, voters stood in line at the election commission building in Denver for at least an
hour. Voting officials told the crowd they were not at a regular polling precinct and to refer to the list of locations to find the correct place to vote. When the crowd questioned whether they could still vote at this particular location they where given a reluctant yes. Yet, when some potential voters reached the front of the massive line they were given provisional ballots. Provisional ballots must by an election ofhcial to determine be assessed if the ballot is necessarybefore it is counted. Although you may have waited for hours to vote, submitting a provisional ballot does not necessarilymean you voted. Instead, it means you attempted to vote. Early voting programs, now in 30 states, have become an easy way to avoid lines and savetime, Still, more attention should be made to election day voting preparation. This election saw more voters than any other in history. Hopefully, this will continue and large amounts of the American population will be motivated to vote. With 60 percent of the newly registered turning out to vote, the polls were obviously not prepared for the crowds. More workers need to be available to assist the public and more electronic voting booths need to be provided to the voting precincts. This will encourage more voters to wait in the lines and lead to the most accurate representation of the population. Four more yeius can seem like an immense amount of time with fears like these. But stay positive and out of Canada.After all' 2008 is iust around the corner.

would leave it up to the states to decide. It was the same viewpoint flom his debates with Joe Lieberman in 2000. With Kerry and Edwards inconsistent and Bush unyielding, the vice president alone was willing to take a stance unlike any other. And though both diehards of the two parties disagree on Cheney's influence of Bustr, no one denies the president respects the vice president highly. There was indeed a progressive option on the ticket, and he wasn't a Democrat.

The horror,oh the horror
One Last Thing...
FromMr.Hammer
The ballots ha!€ been counted and the results have been turned in. Of course, over the next few weela we will hear the stories of miscouns. the
dead people who voted, and other such horrors that make us all question the democraticprocess NeverthelessPresident Bushwill still be president and will retainthat title for the next four years. For someAmericans,ttrat can Bryan Goodland mean only one thing: run -----e;ffi6t to Canada. The Canadian Web site,www.cic.gc.ca, usuallygetsseveralthousand hits a day,but on Wednesda)', the day afur the election,the hits on the Wtb site increasedby almostsix timesthe norrn. Eventhougb the \,i&bsitehasenperienced an
increasein visits, the applications to the imrnigration office have shown no sudr spike. However, this could simply mean Americans are taking their time before they rnake their big move to the Great White North. The cause for this increase in curiosity for our neglected northern neighbors remains to be seen.There certainly are perks involved in moving to Canada, among them their national health care Program. Canada also tends to be more liberal than the United States,so it would make sensefor some of the disheartened liberals to make their trek to the land of the left. In some ways, I can understand the disillusionment the Democrats and the Liberals may feel, but is the answer really to jus run away' Our Democracy is full of problems, but the whole point of having a democracy is to watch and make sure that it niorla. Moving to Canada
will not help anyone, other than the Canadians. As Amerii:ans, we have a responsibility to stay here and make sure Bush keeps to his promises. And if he doesdt in four yean time, then find someone who will. Ma16e it's my naive optimism, but I think there is alwaysa chanceto make things better. Running away, if that is really what some people are planning, is iust quitting, plain and simple. In order for the democracy to work we have to fight for it. In the end, I guesswhat I'm trying to say is, dont be apathetic. If you wanted Bush to win, congratulations; if you didn't, I'm sorry but you ll have another chance in four years. That's the beauty of the whole process.We always have another chance.Every four years, our nation has the chance to clrange for the better. Thatt the wonder of a.democracy,and I for one am going to stay right here and wait to see that happen. If ;ou dorft agree,tell the Canadians I said hello.

'Runners:On top of the hill
by MatthewGunn TheMetroDolitan Itt been said that the third time is a charm. On SaturdaS Nov. 6, the No. 2 Metro woment soccer team (20-l-0) faced-off against No. Il Regis University (18-4) for the second time in as many weelc. This time, it resulted in a l-0 shutout win for the'Runners. This time, the girme was for the Roclry Mountain Atl etic Conference tournament title and a chance to secure home field for the upcoming NCAA regional toumament. The RMAC toumament began on Friday with a 2-0 win for Regis over the CSU-Pueblo Thunderwolves (9-6-4). The Rangers'win set up another showdown between the two most powerful teams in the region: Regis and Metro State. 'We know they re going to be tough games ahead," said senior midfielder Adrianne Almaraz about going into the postseason."We know that we have to come out on top of our game and make sure that everyone is healthy and ready to play." Saturdayt match saw two familiar foes battle for the conference crown. Neither team was willing to make the first mistake, as they knew any sign of hesitation could be the difference between victory and defeat- It was an even match throughouh eachteam took only 14 shots in the game and both defenses played to their highest level. The difference came with only five minutes remaining in the first half. Metro set up for a corner kick and the resuit was a clutch goal for senior defender Meisha Pyke. It was a goal that would ultimately seal the win for the Roadrunners.With the goal in place, it was up to the Metro goalkeepersto secure tlte tide. With 'Runner defense,a the help of an outstanding combined effort in net from junior Mandy Allen and freshman Sarah Leonhard kept Regis off the board. The game finished l-0 and the victory gave Metro the right to host the upcoming NCAA regional tournament. 'Playing with composure and keeping the momentum going are important," said head coach Danny Sanchez."We really need to finish our drances. If we get that sâ&#x201A;Źcond goal it's a different game."
The Roadrunnerstake the top seed into the regionalbeginning11 a.m.,Friday,Nov. 12. Metro will play fourth seed,WestTexasA&M in the first round-not to be confusedwith the third seed Tens A&M-Commerce, who will play secondseedRegisin the secondsemifinal. If the Rangersplay to their potential,it could sa up a fourth gamebetweenRegisand Metro for
the regional championship, at 12 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 14, The'Runners are confident in their game and know what they are capable of going into the tournament. "We know we are going to have a hard road ahead,'said iunior midfielder Jodi McGann. "But we'll overcome it."

are going to a placewhere they aren't wanted: Nebraska. The Neb-Kearney lopers must be hoping-no, wait-begging that 'Runners beat New the Mexico Higlrlands so they have the pleawait-the Donald Smith sure-no, fi""lly honor of Sports Columnist being able to beat the 'Runners in the playoffs. If revenge is to be avoided and Metro's volleyball team can hand the Lopers their first loss of the season,they will still have to possibly beat the Fort Hays State Tigers. Although I would like to seethat happen, I don t think it will. But, hey, at least the younger players will get some playoff experience. No.2 Women's Socccr(20-l) Regis, why wonl you go away? Every time I look on the schedule, it seemslike Metro and Regis are playing for something. First, it was the regular season tide, then it was the conference title and now, these two teams could play for the regional cmwn. The Rangers are kind of like an annoying fly: you can swat them and swat them, but they just keep coming back. Itt as if they can't take a hint; so maybe, just maybe Texas A&M Commerce will beat them, because if it's Regis-Metro IV I want the Roadrunners to just crush them. (Swatting's overrated anyway) Men's Soccer (15-4-2) When I heard the news that the Metro ment soccer team didn t make the regional playoffs, I was disgusted. Metro didn't defeat Colorado School of Mines or Northeastern State during the regular season, but so what! I mean, honestly,what is the purpose of having conference playoffs when there potentially could be nothing on the line. Seriously, the Roadrunners proved-for the second straight season,I might add-that they are the best team in the conference when it matters most: in the postseason. If this is the way itt going to be, the schedulemakers should not even bother having teams that are going to be in the regional tournament even haveto play in the conferencetournament. Personally, I would like soccer to be like volteyball: win and you're in. Make sommne have to lose to have their seasonended; becauseif a team catches fire late in the seasononly to have it ended by a committee, what's the use of having coachesfire up their teamsevery game? (Xven though I know, they probably won t ever read this), a question to the NCAA: how would you feel wilning your conferencetournament only to watch a team that got knocked out in the first round, on their own field, to a team they are-statistically, anyway-supposed to beat, mor'e on while you empty your locker for the season?Probably not good. I just want to say to all of ttre guys on the Metro roster: great season!

New Mexico did not play up to their capability in their fust match, according to Hendrick. "We've got to make sure we don't look past them," Hendrick said. The Roadrunner game plan is to serve aggressively and get the Cowgirls out of their system, Hendricks said. An advantage for Metro could be that the team played in Kearney, Neb. iust two weeks ago and the Cowgirls have not played in Kearney all season.The crowd at the Health and Sports Center should be packed with fans and be a factor during the games,according to Hen&icks. "That's something we need to capitalizeon," Hendricks said. 'Runners game starts at 4 p.m. The Nov. 12 in Kearney, Neb. To stay updated on the RMAC tournament results log on to www.gometrostate.com.

They couldn't scored unassistedto help dig his team from out favor in the second half being up two goals and score a goal; we were just coming at them the not much more than half an hour remaining. of its two-goal hole. The comeback would be completed a litde 'Diggers scored under four minutâ&#x201A;Źs later as the minute of the match in the 63d the equalizer after forward Matt Dixon knocked home a tally from midfielder Brian Hart. Metro and Mines then played a little more than 46 minutes of scoreless soccer when the overtime whistle blew. The Roadrunners won in penalty kick 3-1, advancing to play the Thunderwolves Nov. 7. Ncaraz-Reza said the team came out in the second half with the sarne type of attitude and intensity they did in the first half, but after they scoredtheir secondgoal of the match, they started looking ahead to Sundayt game and that's when the Orediggers came back. After an upset victory, the CSU-Pueblo Thunderwovles looked to get some revenge of their own when they took on Metro last Sunday in Durango, Colo. "Against Pueblo, it was a very uneven match. I mean, we just ... killed them, erasedthem ftom the field. We should've scored six goals, at least," said Alcaraz-Reza. Metro looked to end the game early as they came after the Thunderwolves out-shooting C^SU-Pueblo10-2,but to no availas the'Runners 'Wolves went into the half tied at zero. and Four minutes into the second half. Phillip Owen scored the game winner as defensive back Chad Pearson and midfielder Garrett Sadusky combined on the assist in the 49h minute of the @ntest. The Roadrunners survived the mini rush of the Thunderwolves only to put the game out of reach and the conference crown in their trophy casein the 75d minute as Antonio Porrasscored off a David Gordon assist.Metro ended their season similar to the one before it: with the RMAC titlE. "ltt just a great win ... we didn't expect to be playing CSU-Pueblo, but we krew we had to win; (we) concentrated on CSU-Pueblo and defeating them and then came out with a 2-0 victory," said Sabbagh.
